Say this with me a couple times: Urbanism is about choice. In Tallahassee, we're faced with a ton of single-family housing stock, a ton of high-density student housing, and a shortfall of everything in between.

The same phenomenon plays out across our country. It's called the Missing Middle. It's a big deal. And it's why urbanists in today's context cannot shy from the argument that urbanism is about increasing options, not limiting them. That's right: Urbanism = Freedom to Choose = America.
